Department of Justice&#8217;s Internet Crimes Against Children (ICAC) Task Force arrested Richard Gallagher on 12 felony counts of Sexual Exploitation of Children, including manufacturing Child Sexual Abuse Material (CSAM).<\/li>\n<li>Gallagher is accused of using artificial intelligence (AI) apps to manipulate images of children, turning clothed photos into explicit content.<\/li>\n<li>If convicted on all charges, Gallagher faces a combined penalty of 47 years in prison followed by lifetime registration as a sex offender, along with probation and parole.<\/li>\n<li>Attorney General Ra\u00fal Torez emphasized the need to update New Mexico\u2019s legal framework to protect people from the dangers posed by the misuse of transformative technologies like generative AI.<\/li>\n<li>The NMDOJ received a CyberTip in September 2025 from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC) about child sexual abuse material linked to a specific IP address.<\/li>\n<li>Through a thorough investigation, agents traced the IP address to Gallagher&#8217;s phone, uncovering numerous edited sexually explicit photos on his devices.<\/li>\n<li>The NMDOJ&#8217;s ICAC Division collaborates with 86 federal, state, and local law enforcement agencies to track and capture internet child sexual predators and pornographers.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>New Mexico Department Of Justice Arrests Man Manufacturing Child Sexual Abuse Material Using Artificial
